IN PICTURES: Lisburn Distillery Football Club marks 140th anniversary

Saturday 13th November marked a landmark occasion for Lisburn Distillery Football Club as supporters and former players met to celebrate the club’s 140th anniversary, albeit a year late due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Lisburn Distillery, or Distillery as the club is generally known, was formed in 1880 by employees of the Belfast based Dunvilles Distillery and was a founding member of the Irish Football Association and the oldest professional club in Ireland still in existence.
